The delivery of basic services, including water and sanitation, among others, continues to be a challenge across metros in South Africa. Annually, vast numbers of people migrate to cities in search of opportunity, work and better lives. This puts pressure on existing infrastructure, while upgrades and improvements are often outpaced by this global trend. The city of Cape Town has seen rapid population growth over the last decade, with millions living in townships and informal settlements. Lerato Dlalisa reports....

One concept is eating the entire Forex creative market right now: a "fat guy" gets slapped, abandoned, or humiliated, then rises to power. It was everywhere last month — this month it's on steroids, and every big Forex game has its own version. The crew runs 123 AI creatives in 30 minutes to map where AI creative is actually heading.Matej Lančarič, Jakub Remiar, and Felix Braberg speed through the month's AI creatives and surface the patterns. Golden Goblins still wins with clever non-AI hooks (power progressions, the tag meme) rather than full AI. King Shot's "no ads" theme has spread through Forex, puzzle, and everywhere else — often paired with the now-ubiquitous slapped-guy power fantasy (complete with a one-to-one "Henry Cavill from Wish" character). Playrix's Township and Gardenscapes are flooding feeds with flower-team and egg-overload AI creatives, one-to-one across the portfolio. The through-line: the concept is an old mafia-boss power fantasy reborn through AI — and it's everywhere because, chaos and all, it seems to be working.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 123 creatives in 30 minutes — buckle up01:55 Golden Goblins — winning with clever non-AI hooks03:00 King Shot and the "no ads" theme everywhere04:10 The "fat guy getting slapped" power fantasy — on steroids07:55 Playrix — Township & Gardenscapes' AI flood14:45 Top Heroes' chaos — poop filters and cratering revenue27:00 Pixel Flow & Meow Doku — AI creatives done right29:50 123 creatives in, Mr. Fat Guy leads the packThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

This podcast debates the pros and cons on a official statement from the Plymouth Township Council regarding a controversial proposal to build a hyperscale data center at the site of a former steel plant. While Pennsylvania law requires the municipality to permit all legitimate land uses, the Council is formally opposing the current application because the developer rejected a comprehensive list of safety and environmental safeguards. These proposed mandates include strict noise and vibration limits, green building certifications, and the use of closed-loop cooling systems to protect local resources. The text emphasizes the local government's commitment to prioritizing resident welfare over the interests of the developer, who has challenged the township's zoning authority. Ultimately, the Council outlines forty-three specific demands designed to mitigate the industrial impacts of the facility on the surrounding community.

How do property taxes work in Ohio townships? At Monday night's "Sound of Ideas: Community Tour" event, we discussed efforts to reform, or even eliminate, Ohio's property tax system and we heard from the public schools, parks and programs that count on that funding. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll discuss another group that relies heavily on property taxes: Ohio's 1,308 townships. They are unique in that they don't levy municipal income taxes. More than 35% of Ohioans live in a township. We'll hear from folks in Stark and Portage counties about the role property taxes play in their communities and what the proposed changes could mean for their future. Guests:- Joseph Bica, Treasurer, Portage County- Matt Kelly, Auditor, Portage County- Anna Huntsman, Reporter, Ideastream Public Media "Something in the Woods Loves You" It's estimated that almost 20% of adults in the U.S. deal with some form of depression — that's around 50 million people. Depression can look like a lot of different things, from losing interest in daily activities, pulling away from friends and family to thoughts of suicide. Addressing depression also widely varies from simply changing diet or sleep habits, to therapy with a professional, to the use of medications. Jarod Anderson is an Ohio-based writer and poet whose book, "Something in the Woods Loves You," chronicles his own experiences with depression and how his first step to getting help was taking a walk in the woods. Ideastream's Drew Maziasz spoke with Anderson ahead of his appearance at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes. You can find information about Anderson's event here.

Pour jouer au foot, il suffit d'avoir un ballon. Pour le reste, n'importe quelle rue peut se transformer en terrain. On connaît bien, par exemple, le foot des rues dans les favelas brésiliennes. Mais en Afrique du Sud aussi, dans les townships, on joue avec panache. Cela s'appelle le « Kasi Football », le foot des quartiers. De notre envoyé spécial à Soweto,  Le soleil s'apprête à se coucher sur Soweto, et dans les rues du quartier de Naledi, des jeunes jouent au football à chaque coin de rue. « Je veux devenir joueur professionnel. Pour rendre fière ma mère, et toute ma famille », confie l'un d'eux. Nous assistons à un entraînement de Kasi football, aux côtés du coach Elvis Radebe. « Le Kasi football, c'est une histoire de panache. Et ça ne veut pas forcément dire des dribbles ; plutôt un talent inné, que Dieu vous a donné. Ce qu'un entraîneur ne peut pas vous apprendre. Danser sur le ballon, embrasser le ballon… Parfois on se dit : “mais d'où il sort ça ?”. Et c'est justement ça, le Kasi football : se faire plaisir ! » Cette pratique est historique dans les townships sud-africains, transmise de génération en génération. Pour Thabang Mosia, 14 ans, sa figure signature consiste à se tenir debout sur le ballon pour provoquer son adversaire. « Ça me rend heureux parce que c'est quelque chose que j'aime faire. Je le fais surtout quand il y a du monde qui regarde, mais je ne joue pas pour les autres, je joue pour moi. » Sur les réseaux sociaux, des vidéos de joueurs qui dansent avec le ballon deviennent virales. Des internautes qualifient certains dribbles de séances d'hypnose pour endormir l'équipe adverse. Un phénomène qui donne des idées à Joseph Khoza, un enfant du quartier, qui a grandi avec un ballon dans le sac à dos. « On ne peut pas juste garder ça pour nous alors qu'il y a les réseaux sociaux maintenant. Il faut qu'on tire profit de tout ça. » Ce touche-à-tout, footballeur, entrepreneur, professionnel du marketing et plus encore, assiste aujourd'hui à l'entraînement pour créer du contenu. « Ici, tout le monde contribue à ce magnifique sport. C'est une plateforme qui nous permet de faire tout ce qu'on veut. Mon objectif ultime, c'est de développer cet écosystème tout entier. » La nuit tombe, les terrains se vident peu à peu. Au prochain match, quand ils entreront sur le terrain, Thabang et ses coéquipiers auront comme l'impression de monter sur scène, tout à fait libres le temps du match, prêts à défier l'équipe adverse en se tenant debout sur le ballon.

We live in a world where replacing something is often quicker and easier than fixing it. Your coffee maker breaks? Buy a new one. Same thing for your busted laptop. But a growing movement is asking us to rethink that mindset. Enter: repair cafes. From Romeoville to Evanston, there are six repair cafés across the city and suburbs where volunteers help residents extend the shelf lives of their tech, appliances and other belongings. In the Loop learns more about how to take part, be more sustainable with your stuff, and save money.

In this #FactsMatter: Front Porch Edition conversation, Monique Field-Foster, executive partner at Warner Norcross + Judd, joins host Guy Gordon and Research President Eric Lupher to explore one of the central themes of conversation in Michigan policy circles: Michigan's struggle with population growth, income growth, and political whiplash. Field-Foster reflects on her decades in government affairs and describes how Michigan's political volatility — the “purple curse” of frequent partisan swings — leads to repeated policy resets rather than sustained progress. She argues that Michigan cannot improve population growth, income growth, or educational outcomes until leaders and voters embrace common ground, continuity, and a clearer understanding of what policy choices mean for residents. The discussion also highlights a growing governance challenge: local capacity in high‑stakes economic development. As global companies pursue data center projects in Michigan, negotiations often fall to small township boards with limited staff and part‑time elected officials. Field-Foster suggests Michigan may need a state‑level framework, similar to the solar siting process, to provide consistency, address community concerns, and give businesses predictable rules of engagement. The episode underscores three themes critical for policymakers: - Policy stability matters. Michigan's habit of undoing prior administrations' work slows progress and undermines long‑term strategies. - Public understanding is essential. Headlines drive voter disengagement; clear, nonpartisan policy education is needed. - Local governments need support. Townships negotiating with multinational firms require structure, expertise, and state‑level guardrails. A timely conversation about political culture, economic competitiveness, and the structural reforms Michigan may need to move forward.

This week, in Howland Township, Ohio, a popular local man is brutally murdered in his own home, leading the investigation to his ex-wife, who he was still living & sleeping with. Detectives really want to talk to his wife's new, MUCH younger boyfriend, who just got out of prison. Luckily, there is a treasure trove of letters, and audio recordings that show a clear murder plan forming. But was that all a fantasy, and the real killers are actually ex-felons that the victim would hire to work for him?? A crazy tale of betrayal, and greed!!   Along the way, we find out that people want to go to a county fair to look at carcasses, that there is no reason to have 52 credit cards, and that when you're in prison, you should assume that all of your letters could eventually be evidence!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!
